Hi Marmaduke,  


First Serve
 
Squash Open day!
 - The Club is looking to the future and is keen to attract young players to the game who will play for the Club and continue with its success.  In conjunction with Ulster Squash, Windsor is organising an Open Day, so bring the youngsters .....(read more )


Club Afternoon??
Club afternoon has been suspended for the next 2 Saturdays while the Ulster Junior Hardcourt championships is underway at the club, so the next club afternoon date will be Saturday 5th September.

So, when were you last in the gym?
If you are looking for something to do this Saturday, why not get down to the gym and try out the fantastic facilities we have there? Did you know we'd installed 2 plasma tvs (catch up on Top Gear), a running machine and a new cycling machine in the last year? Marc Howland (contact details at reception, or email) can also show you how to get the most out of the equipment and set up a tailored fitness programme for you.

Second Serve
Hey, where ya been...?
Thought you all might like to know that I bumped into Maurice Meehan on Friday afternoon, at the club, he was supporting his young son Cormac in the Junior Hardcourt champs. Hadn't seen Maurice for ages, and he reports that he is fighting fit and raring to get back into some serious tennis action again. Which prompts a question, is it ever serious when Maurice is playing - one of the nicest guys you could play with on court, so it's fantastic to see him back in action.

Usain Bolt leaves Berlin, Windsor enter Sttugart...
Windsor make the return trip to Sttugart this week, leaving on Thursday, away for 3 nights. Gordon Addy (should that be Sturm-gruppen-führer Addy?) has indicated that white shorts were to be the uniform of choice. So, not being the owner of a pair of said white shorts, having previously associated white-short-wearers as being VERY OLD PEOPLE, I trotted down to Gottos to get a pair of white shorts. Happily Stephen had heard of the upcoming Windsor German trip and had gotten in a batch. Sadly, they were all in the style of Rafael Nadal, who is at least 10 years younger than me... Stephen cheered me up with a bit of discount, and I now own a pair of VOP shorts, which I will wear once a year....

Anyway, wish us 'Bon Voyage', look out for some tall stories on our return!
